ESS based
in Birmingham is a thriving and progressive electrical and air
conditioning contractor just celebrating their 10th anniversary
and noted for covering both the domestic and industrial sectors
and are always looking to take the next step in terms of quality
work and customer satisfaction. The recent purchase of two key
items of Testo technology has certainly underwritten the ESS
ethos.

The air conditioning division has especially taken advantage
of the Testo 570 Digital Refrigerant Manifold and also the Testo
417 Large Area Vane Anemometer.

Mike Plant of ESS takes up the success story "We learned
about the 570 from Steve Fisher at the Red Dragon air conditioning
specialist centre in Wales and he was excellent as regards guidance
and training. The product is absolutely brilliant and we can't
fault it when it comes to quick and easy checking of pressure
and temperature and it is very reassuring for all concerned in
every aspect of health and safety and checking the proper values
involved. It's a big leap in technology and convenience for example
with the means to fit three probes, trustworthy software print-
outs and the plug in scale and charging facility. And given the
constant media attention to our profession and its standards
it is especially reassuring to customers that the Testo product
looks good and professional in our hands. This aspect is especially
evident by virtue of the smart protective Testo case which comes
complete with all necessary accessories including the software
and USB cable, batteries, pliers probes and calibration protocol.

For ESS the Testo Anemometer gives them crucial compliance with
the Building F-Regulations regarding controlled quality air circulation
and as Mike observes" We couldn't be without it to measure
and check all aspects of air flow, volume and temperature and
getting the balance and humidity right. The instant maximum and
minimum values are a bonus as are the means to freeze readings
at the touch of a button and the clear backlit display. Like
all things Testo it was thoughtfully designed for its purpose
and it is simple to handle. Again it's a very robust product
and gives us much more capability and as with the Manifold system
it means we can offer more and fit more jobs in. Overall we are
proud of the level of our qualifications and what we do and our
geographic scope and reputation are increasing all the time".
